Check out http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/modernization_upcase-word.html
Here is my implementation based off that [1].
(needs use-package, hydra and region-bindings-mode packages: all of which I
consider as good as core packages)
(defun xah-cycle-letter-case (arg)
"Cycle the letter case of the selected region or the current word.
Cycles from 'lower' -> 'Capitalize' -> 'UPPER' -> 'lower' -> ..
C-u M-x xah-cycle-letter-case -> Force convert to upper case.
C-u C-u M-x xah-cycle-letter-case -> Force convert to lower case.
C-u C-u C-u M-x xah-cycle-letter-case -> Force capitalize."
(interactive "p")
(let (p1 p2
(deactivate-mark nil)
(case-fold-search nil))
(if (use-region-p)
(setq p1 (region-beginning)
p2 (region-end))
(let ((bds (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'word)))
(setq p1 (car bds)
p2 (cdr bds))))
(cl-case arg
(4 (put this-command 'next-state "UPPER")) ; Force convert to
upper case
(16 (put this-command 'next-state "lower")) ; Force convert to
lower case
(64 (put this-command 'next-state "Capitalize")) ; Force capitalize
(t (when (not (eq last-command this-command))
(save-excursion
(goto-char p1)
(cond
;; lower -> Capitalize
((looking-at "[[:lower:]]") (put this-command
'next-state "Capitalize"))
;; Capitalize -> UPPER
((looking-at "[[:upper:]][[:lower:]]") (put this-command
'next-state "UPPER"))
;; Default: UPPER -> lower
(t (put this-command
'next-state "lower")))))))
(cl-case (string-to-char (get this-command 'next-state)) ;
`string-to-char' returns first character in string
(?U (upcase-region p1 p2)
;; UPPER -> lower
(put this-command 'next-state "lower"))
(?l (downcase-region p1 p2)
;; lower -> Capitalize
(put this-command 'next-state "Capitalize"))
;; Capitalization is a better option here than upcasing the initials
;; because (upcase-initials "abc") -> "Abc" (good)
;; (upcase-initials "ABC") -> "ABC" (not what I expect most
of the times)
;; (capitalize "abc") -> "Abc" (good)
;; (capitalize "ABC") -> "Abc" (good)
(t (capitalize-region p1 p2)
;; Capitalize -> UPPER
(put this-command 'next-state "UPPER")))))
